Top to bottom: The slump in construction activity has hindered demand,
but revenue is expected to rebuild

Elevator Installation & Service in the US

Over the five years to 2012, the industry shrunk alongside investment in
the commercial building markets, brought on by the recession. The
decline in demand for industry services intensified internal competition
and put pressure on profit margins. Demand is forecast to improve in the
next five years, however, as the economy continues its gradual recovery
and the non-residential building market picks up, fueling the need for
installation and maintenance of automation systems and industrial
machinery.

This industry comprises establishments primarily engaged in one or more
of the following activities: the installation or dismantling of building
or industrial equipment (except plumbing, air conditioning or electrical
equipment); machine rigging; and millwriting. Types of equipment
installed include automated and revolving doors, conveyor systems,
dumbwaiters, dust-collecting equipment, elevators, small incinerators,
pneumatic tubes systems and built-in vacuum-cleaning systems.

This report covers the scope, size, disposition and growth of the
industry including the key sensitivities and success factors. Also
included are five year industry forecasts, growth rates and an analysis
of the industry key players and their market shares.
